Fabrizio was outstanding. He explained everything simply and with enough details. He was very conscientious of making sure I was happy and pleased with the tour.

The guide was an hour late. Only showed after we messaged Viator. He did not go to all the places listed in the overview. We did ask he skip places we had already been. But there were key places including the special drink we did not experience. Very disappointed. And no financial resolution from Viator.
Don’t book this tour as the tour operator is totally unresponsive from the day i booked the travel. i was there at the spot and didn’t find anyone on the specific day. The number given on the ticket by the guide is also inoperable and you can’t reach any of them. Overall, I lost my money after booking this trip. NEVER BOOK
My family of four had a fantastic tour of Cusco and beyond with Fabrizio. He absolutely reflected our energy and pace. He paused and gave us time to catch our breath when necessary and filled us with history, culture and stories of Cusco and the Incans. He engaged wonderfully with our 24 and 20 year old sons and helped expand their horizons with appreciation of Peru and her culture. Our time together with Fabrizio has been the best part of our trip. Thank you for the wonderful days!!
Informative and educational. Learnt a lot about Cusco that we wouldn't otherwise have known. Took in central squares, food market and San Blase.
We had a fantastic walking tour of Cuzco with Angelo - he’d thought ahead about all the spots we were going to see, was incredibly friendly to us and our pup (we brought our shihtzu Coco with us), and was really knowledgeable. Great conversationalist too!!
Unfortunately we were at the appointed place at the correct time, but our guide never showed up. We waited 30 minutes and have had to request a refund. We ended up walking the itinerary on our own and will have to let google tell us the significance of each stop.
Our guide was a charming young man. His English was okay. However, the tour itself was somewhat uninspiring. The guide brought us to a local bazaar and then led us to several stalls that were obviously expecting us. The visit did not feel authentic. The stories he told us were okay. However, the stories lacked historic depth that is expected from a tour guide. Overall, we finished our tour about an hour earlier than we expected as it felt like we ran out of reasons to continue this tour.
Fabrizio showed us the most beautiful views of Cusco and gave us an excellent tour of San Pedro market including tips on food to enjoy and food to avoid. He took us to the best place for tamales in all of Cusco, which was a tiny kiosk in the square - Delicious! He was entertaining and informative, but most of all he was aware of our need to take it easy as it was our first day in Cusco and we needed to acclimate. Well, done, Fabrizio!
Our guide Fernando was very helpful and knowledge about Cusco and helped us getting to know the city! It was a great way to explore the city!
Pros: - Nice thorough look at Cusco and its key sites - Fabrizio was knowledgable, and patient with the slow walkers in the fam - Stopped for juice and fruit Cons: - Seemed a bit pricey compared to other tours available I would recommend this tour!
Amazing! This is a great way to acclimate to Cusco and learn history from an experienced local guide. Our guide was Fabrizio and he was great and very knowledgeable. We walked all over Cusco and saw hidden gems as well as main attractions! We did some shopping and visited cool cafes and traditional Inca Beer bars.
Great tour. Fabrizio was an amazing guide. He took us to all sorts of unique places. It’s evident that he loves his city. I would highly recommend this walking tour to you. It’s a great way to acclimatize to the altitude.
Fabrizio was a pleasure to spend time with. His upbeat attitude was enthusiastic and contagious. He was attentive to our interests and adjusted our itinerary on the fly to fit our needs. The time we spent in the San Pedro Market was a highlight of our trip to Peru. Learning about the culture of the people and their spirit is why we travel and Fabrizio was an excellent embodiment of that.
My friend and I couldn't have been happier with our guide and the places he took us. I have always loved markets, and we learned so much at San Pedro. We could have gone there by ourselves, but would have missed out on a lot. Fernando's English was excellent.
Fernando was a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed our tour of the San Pedro market and of the church of La Merced. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout the tour.
Harry was AMAZING!!! It was wonderful, and so awesome that you were able to walk around and actually show us the beautiful city of Cusco and we were lucky enough to experience the culture. Cant wait to actually come there, but for now, glad you were able to guide us! Thanks for a memorable experience, it exceeded our expectations!! Stay well, and hope things come back to normal soon!
Awesome tour - sights and narration. Omar was a gracious host. His knowledge of Cusco city, region, and culture is vast. His knowledge of the history buried in the mural of Peru was astonishing. He connected ancient Peru with the present.
I took the 'Best of Cusco' tour with Omar Gonzales. He was an outstanding guide. He was friendly and fun and was very knowledgeable about the area. He told me about the social and political history and some of the myths of Cusco. Omar had great communication skills and had an enthusiasm about sharing his knowledge with me. His tour was well organized and also flexible. Our time flew by, and I wished I had more days to take another tour with him. Whenever I travel and want a tour, I'll look first to see if Withlocals is available.
